86. there are better ways to encourage health

Do we go around beating our children and assailing them with verbal abuse when they gain weight? No. Of course not. But when we treat each other that way we encourage our children to treat other children that way. If you want to address the obesity issue then you have a national health campaign encouraging people to eat healthy food and exercise. You know like Michelle Obama does. You don't go around shaming people into dieting. Not only is it cruel, it doesn't work. That kind of behavior just encourages deadly eating disorders such as bulimia and anorexia.
